2 weeks is the maximum I'd allow before complaining.

I'd name and shame, tbh, if they have any sort of history on here then there may be people with more contact details than an email address.

I'd stalk them on the forum then, a few 'where's my stuff' posts on threads they're posting on should elicit a response...

And I felt bad taking a week to post some forks I was giving away for free! Seriously, I can't understand how people think they'll get away with it more than once.

Then again, I'm an untrusting sod; large items are strictly collect only, and I give the vendor cash at the time. I'd not be dropping £1k into someone's account (easy enough if you're after a top-spec frame) just on their forum reputation.

10 days is way to long IMHO.

Kinda annoys me this, if you are selling be prepared to send next day if possible. I have sold quite a bit this last week and most of it has gone same day of payment, if not defo next day. Always keep the buyer informed of posting date etc.

Also good to hear back from the buyer that the goods were received as well.

Sherco Steve. Im not going to let you bad mouth me without saying something. After many many attempts to contact you I just refunded your money straight back to the account details you gave me. Also, had a call from Parcelforce saying a calling card was left at your address as nobody was home. I have proof of postage and proof of bank transfer.

If there is anybody on here that should be avoided it is you.

More lies Tony.

You told me in your last email that you had problems sending the item and now you are saying you sent them. You can't even get you stories right.

Just refund the £65 you stole from me.

So still on the don't buy from list is quincy. He takes your money and doesn't send the goods. Not the sort of person we want dealing in the classifieds.

Liftman there's a post missing as it was deleted by mods because of a wee swear word in it, hence your confusion.
